Disable interactiveMode in maven settings.xml

[murdos]

Description:
Generate a maven settings.xml containing by default <interactiveMode>false</interactiveMode> : https://maven.apache.org/settings.html#simple-values

Justification:
Disabling interactiveMode activates batch mode and disables download progress indication which is very useful when viewing logs (it also reduces size of logs).
Rather than systematically adding parameter --batch-mode and -ntp to maven invocations in steps, it's easier and cleaner to configure it globally in settings.xml.

JFYI: these options can be set per-project, in .mvn/maven.config file. See https://maven.apache.org/configure.html#mvn-maven-config-file

@IvanZosimov: any news? It's been more than a year now.

Yes, but this is an option that you want to enable only on CI, and not when you're developing locally.

Resolved by #1052 — the generated Maven settings.xml now includes <interactiveMode>false</interactiveMode> by default. Shipped in v5.5.0. Closing as completed.
